I find that almost as insulting as what I complained to the moderators about earlier on. In fact I am so hacked off with all this I am thinking of removing Firefox from every computer I use even PC's
I don't think anybody meant to insult you directly, possibly the logic behind your arguments, as there seems to be a lot of opinion backed arguments floating around this thread.
Though if you hate firefox that much then you remove it from every computer you use - EVEN PC's. It won't affect anything, any.
You should use whatever browser you want for whatever reason you want, not because "
Apple told me their browser is better" and not because "
an apple forum on the interwebz told me safari was better." Use whichever browser you want for whatever "user experience" reason you want, not because "you heard" - that's just stupid.
Is this something different than Private Browsing?
I don't know anything about private browsing, I'd just like the oppertunity, like opera has, like firefox, hell, even like IE has, to NOT remember history, I don't use it, I don't want it, I don't like it. In safari I gotta manually lock files so Safari can't change stuff, though I believe there should still be in option in the preferences about it, like there is on every other browser.
Preferences should be where "
preferences" are, not "
where preferences that apple things you may want to edit" are.
lmao, u complained that firefox need more bounce to open, now you say "speed" is loading pages. which do you mean? and how did you know safari load pages faster? because apple told you so?
or are you aware of the speed limit factors for a browser?
This place is already filled with rhetorical statements, doesn't mean a thing!
You don't use every greatest app ever made, you use whichever you like for whatever reason, its not like some people are so smart, they always ID the "best" and use the "best". lol, Haven't seen that kind of guy in years. myself included.
Yeah, I also find that hard to believe. A lot of people believe what they're using is the best simply because they haven't had a lot of experience with other programs that have the same functionality at perhaps different levels of quality.
I believe somebody can only make a valid argument as per the user experience of each browser if they do indeed use each browser on a daily basis (ie. they actually live with it). I get the feeling here a lot of people arguing both ways are arguing like this:
1) Use browser A
2) Try browser B for 5 minutes
3) Go back to browser A
That' simply the wrong way of going about it.
When I started using webkit on this computer (OS X) I cringed at Safari's usability, as I was very used to firefox, BUT, I didn't run back to firefox. I set it up, I set the certain lib files to unmutatable so I can have the rest of my preferences that should have been in there to begin with, and I messed with it.
I have no problems using both safari (latest webkit beta build) and firefox on a daily basis. So I fail to see where all the problems arguing each lie.
Though maybe it's because I use browsers in a very minimalistic way, without the keychains, and history, and clientside bookmarks, and all that other crap...
The only problem I have is that it seems in webkits quest to become 100% acid3 compliant, they "broke" other web standards. I mean yeah, sure, now they are web compliant, but now a bunch of other sites aren't displaying right because not everybody builds sites that are 100% web compliant.
Though that's usually just some overlapping issues or something, everything else has been equal IMO between the two browsers.
I will say that on my mac Safari loads faster, but that's not a reason for me to exclude firefox...and I use firefox all the time, and I use it on my linux and windows systems as well without issues...
So how can I so passionately say they're the same while everybody claims it has to be one way or the other? Is it some weird form of an absolute dilemma?
